The FR F2 (French: Fusil à Répétition modèle F2; English: Bolt-action Rifle, F2 model) is the standard sniper rifle of the French military. It is an upgrade from the FR F1. It was manufactured by MAS (an abbreviation of Manufacture d'Armes St. Etienne - one of several government-owned arms factories in France). MAS now belongs to GIAT Industries, now NEXTER. It uses 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition, and is equipped with a scope, French army standard issue being either an APX L806 or SCROME J8. The FR F2 utilizes the same bolt design as the older MAS-36 infantry rifle.
The FR F2 is designed for shooting at point targets at distances up to 800 meters.
